PS. Your assymetric approach reminds me of Aldo's GTF Vesuvius. 
On a Win9x box: Goto Start, select Run, type "Winipcfg", click 'More Info'. They'll be listed in the second line "DNS Servers"
On a WinNT/2k: Start, Run, type 'cmd', and when that comes up type 'ipconfig /all'. In the data that scrolls by, you'll see 'DNS Servers'.
On a linux/bsd box, pull up a console and type 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'.
I'm betting your ISPs DNS servers are forward/caching only name servers and are not properly honoring CNAME resource records. If that's the case, I may have to alter my DNS setup to properly handle such crippled servers.
Oh and where can I find Venom's Banshee and Aldo's Vesuvius?
